Hello! I’m being tasked to simulate a DR for a system (server and DB) from tape exclusively. I’ve only done normal restores and I’m not sure how/if I can do that from a tape while having the backed up data on my disk library. Any ideas?
Thanks!

No worries. To restore from the Tape copy you can perform a restore as you normally would.
You can either view the backup history on the client and change the copy precedence in the Browse\Restore options or you can view the backups from the Tape Copy and Browse\Restore from there.

In the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > client > Agent.
Right-click a backup_set or subclient, then click All Tasks > Browse and Restore.
From the Restore Options dialog box, click the Advanced Options tab.
Select Browse from copy precedence checkbox and specify the preference number.
